Cloth Nappies

Ok so look's liek after talking to hubby and looking at the website that we are going to go for it. If I can get a proper demo. Now what is hte diff between all the other brand's should I look at those or stick to FB.

Failing that you can always toddle on over to The Nappy Network and sign up. There is a section with peoples reviews on ALL the different types available locally.

It may do your head it with how many there actually are!

i popped into nappy network and yep....did my head in!!
i've got a few nappies now through TM (bummis covers) and a store in chch. the peapods are good and are cheap $19.95!! i haven't used a FB though so not sure how they go in comparison. cloth flats make great rags and spew cloths

Deb - I still use old fashioned cloth flats as inserts for overnight combined with a microfibre insert - and I used to use them like that for sleeps as well... They are great for extra stuffing when you need it so definitely won't go to waste!

The peapods are definitely worth having a few of at $19.95 - I can't believe how cheap they are!

I can't say much more as I am selling nappies now, but am happy to help explain anything to do with the different systems now that I have got my head around them all! (Tho a few other ladies could explain all of it too!)

Good luck!

Flats are really good for using inside covers!! I am using these for Kaia, folded up into thirds twice (does that make ANY sense?) and put inside a cover (bummis super whisper wraps is FANTASTIC!!)... Bummis are excellent wraps, check out www.realnappies.co.nz

Peapdos are great, I have some in every size possible and use for both babes. I have a couple of fuzzis too, I find them really good but would rather spend $20 on a peapod than $35 on the fuzzis. I have a couple of mommy's touch which are a one size fits all but I find they work better on Quinn than Kaia at the moment, maybe she is just a smidge on the small side. And i have a couple of cheek boutique nappies too, also one size fits all and also good!!

And Nikki, if you were gonna ditch the bamboo I'd been keen for a try!! Pm me if you wanna sell!!

Yeehaa for first dibs. I have been looking at the wambamboo and trying to justify yet another purchase!! Let me know if or when you wanna give it up!
And forget about the peapods, don't feel bad. As I said, always happy to spend Andys money, spec when he b*ggers off for four weeks and leaves me with the two of 'em by myself!!

Anna, I love bummis whisper wraps and folded flats. I found the prefold that came with the real nappies good, but a little bulky. I find the folded flat gives you a "trim" bum that fits more like a 'sposie under clothes, as alot of clothes for bubbas just aren't cut for big nappies bums...
Yay nikki and han for the nearly dry thing...

Ahh Annie! I am totally with you there on the prefold-bulky issue! And I love that the flats dry in all of three minutes on the line!!

I'd say thats the way to go Deb - you can get Bummis wraps at www.snazzipants.co.nz Around $17-$20. Not sure if they have microfleece liners but you can easily buy some from spotlight and cut them up. Just pad fold a cloth flat and use a liner to get the stay dry layer, lay them in a wrap and velcro on.

Oh Nikki can I do the same thing with peapood's if so I would rather thoes cause I can buy them in the shop.(well soon anyway)
